Springs lose tension from use, not being compressed. I have had yet to replace a firing pin springs in any of my Savages in the 20+ years I been shooting them.
Light strikes can be caused by a number of things outside the bolt. The sear may be be binding on action, making contact with the stock, the trigger over travel set too tight, and etc. All or any one of those things can pad the pin fall.
